Teremun (died 48 BC) was an Egyptian farmer from Siwa who was tortured to death in 48 BC for protesting against Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII's despotic rule.

Biography
Teremun was born in Siwa, Egypt, and he was married to Issa, who bore him a son and a daughter. In 48 BC, Teremun took part in protests against Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII's despotic rule, including unjust taxes which had angered the people of Siwa. Teremun was imprisoned by Medunamun's troops and was taken to the Temple of Amun, where he was tortured to death; his wife asked the medjay Bayek to save her husband, but Bayek instead found Teremun's body in a cage after freeing his fellow prisoners. Bayek took Teremun's body and sought to deliver his body to his family for a proper burial, but he found that Issa and her two children had been burned alive when Ptolemy's soldiers set fire to their farmhouse. Teremun and his family were buried together, although they were unable to be given a proper burial due to the many deaths in the oasis.
